A farmhouse surrounded by the countryside, a careful renovation that has created a comfortable atmosphere both in the internal rooms, in the upper floor rooms, and in the outdoor space with exposed bricks. The restaurant is dedicated to Maestro Castilin, Fulvio’s father and Chiara and Fausto’s grandfather, who in addition to his work as a primary school teacher dedicated himself with passion to the vineyard and the countryside. Cooking is assigned to the chef Alberto Paglieri, who offers traditional dishes, but with some creative ideas, with the products of local farmers, the meat of the breeder friend, and the shepherds’ cheeses of the near mountains. Into season mushrooms and truffles are always present. Often musical moments are proposed, even if the entertainment is guaranteed by Fulvio, who plays the guitar and sings cheerful Piedmontese songs. It is present the tasting menu at 30 euro and the choice à la carte, among which we include among the appetizers the Fassone meat tartare, rabbit tuna, pochè egg with fondue, the puff pastry of potatoes and mushrooms. Do not miss the noodles with sausage meat sauce and seasonal risottos, among the second courses an exquisite veal cheek and braised flavored with Nebbiolo. Excellent tasting of cheeses paired with jams and honey. Delicious even the desserts, all homemade, good choice of wines, especially the local ones.
